March 24, 2024 - Rich and fat Chenin Blanc, expressive, notes of stone fruits, honey/wax, lychee fruit, spices. It is big, round and smooth. Interesting, complex, yes. More please.

January 31, 2024 - ENGLISH:
Nose: Great, overripe yellow stone fruits, peach, apricot, noticeable honeydew melon and sweet grasses, some mineral freshness, sweet white nuts, pecans and macadamia, great white flower meadow
Palate: Wonderfully elegant and delicate in body, yet fully loaded, peach slightly overripe, honeydew melon, netted melon, some kiwi, salt, mineral notes everywhere, white flowers, perfectly balanced fine acidity peak on the finish
Comment: The perfect blend of elegance, complexity and freshness, a dream Chenin!
ORIGINAL (GERMAN):
Nose: Tolle, überreife gelbe Steinfrüchte, Pfirsich, Aprikose, merklich Honigmelone und süße Gräser, etwas mineralische Frische, süße weiße Nüsse, Pekannüsse und Macadamia, tolle weiße Blütenwiese
Taste: Wundervoll elegant und feingliedrig im Körper, dabei aber voll aromengeladen, Pfirsich leicht überreif, Honigmelone, Netzmelone, etwas Kiwi gar, Salz, mineralische Noten überall, weiße Blüten, im Finish der perfekt abgestimmte feine Säure-Peak
Comment: Die perfekte Mischung aus Eleganz, Komplexität und Frische, Traum Chenin!1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 14, 2023 - Lovely, complex aromatics of golden apple, yellow pear, orange blossom, subtle cheese rind, and chamomile tea. Moderate body, high acidity with just the slightest touch of RS. I really like this!

November 11, 2023 - When using coravin for the first 4days, this wine show the quality between village and 1er(in burgundy rule)
However the 6th day’s development are more unexceptional.
